Such was the faith inspired by Baha'u'llah. He announced His own mission, as the Bab had foretold that He would, and, thanks to the devoted labors of His great Forerunner, there were thousands ready to acclaim His Advent - thousands who had shaken off superstitions and prejudices, and were waiting with pure hearts and open minds for the Manifestation of God's Promised Glory. Poverty and chains, sordid circumstances and outward ignominy could not hide from them the Spiritual Glory of their Lord - nay, these dark earthly surroundings only served to enhance the brilliance of His real Splendor
(37:1)
